Mavs bench since the game 2 stepping up a lot. Bertans has been doing in silent really good rotations with Dinwiddie and Kleber

That's exactly how these brainles refs lose control of almost every game now

Luka collides with Ayton than gets pushed by a scrub without the ball, after the play
instead of a quick flagrant and clear order and boundaries, it becomes a TO and no call

Luka gets mad, decides he's gonna flop all the way thru to make his point

Can easily be prevented by refs actually having a damn clue
it's true to many other games as well, not unique to this one


What are you talking about? The correct call would have been an offensive foul on Luka for running into Ayton. Nothing after that matters...


Ayton was still kinda sliding his feet. I think a no call is a good call, but Crowder throwing Luka on the ground was very cheap.

Booker gets no call to put the finishing touches on a real masterpiece quarter by the refs.

That was not a foul on Booker's penetration, if that's what you were referring to.

The T on Book? Basket interference on DA? Offensive foul on CP? Terrible.

I've always wondered about that. That screen is never called, I don't know what the standard is for that.

Must not be illegal then.

Funny. Too bad Booker gets more FT while driving less often to the basket than Luka

Problem is that there is not defense for Luka. That guy control every defense and the tempo of the game whatever he wants he is constantly creating good flow.

Because Moreyball works but probably isn’t enough to win a title. All Dallas does is stand around the line and wait for a double and kick. Defensively is where their personnel shines. Kidd was pretty garbage on the Bucks because they couldn’t play this way

Forgot Brunson 2 fouls on each of Sun's home games? You still have HCA.

Mavs fans say the refs are rigged against them.
